Research from Sinch shows a dramatic shift in consumer behavior — away from public spaces and physical meetings to favor digital interactions. And in the healthcare sector, the transition is even more pronounced. Usage of telemedicine has surged 245% since the COVID-19 crisis began, and many expect these changes will outlast the pandemic, marking a permanent shift in health-seeking behavior.…, Healthcare at a distance, People worldwide are avoiding physical spaces and gathering places, in favor of digital or virtual interactions. According to Sinch’s research, there is a strong indication that this trend will continue even after the pandemic is over. Fifty-eight percent say they will avoid crowds after COVID-19 has passed and 43% will stay closer to home. These figures signal profound changes in everyday life…, Spike in usage of telemedicine, Of those who have used telemedicine, nearly 3 in 4 did so for the first time during the pandemic Even among those who do not use telemedicine, there is pent-up demand. Forty-two percent say they would like to use it but haven’t gotten around to it, and 17% say they would like to use it but their medical providers don’t offer it. For consumers not using telemedicine, would they find it useful?…, Leveraging artificial intelligence in patient-provider interactions, Medical visits aren’t the only area poised for disruption.

In some cases,…, Opportunity gap, People are enthusiastic about mobile messaging options, but adoption remains stubbornly low One of the biggest opportunity gaps is in public health messaging.

The quest for time-series anomaly detection at Sinch - part one, This blog post is the first in a series about our quest to find the best anomaly detection system for chatbots. Our quest is by no means over, but we’ll update you on the problems we tackle as we progress on our journey. Most of the time-series anomaly or outlier detection algorithms out there, commercial or otherwise, only function well under high volumes of traffic. One of the services Sinch…, Moving average, A simple approach to make sure the data you look at is relevant would be to work with a moving average. You can replace each measurement with the average of its past 200 measurements, for example. If you do that for the data illustrated above, you get the green line illustrated below. As you can see in the image above, the improved success rate stays nicely between 0.7 and 0.9 and is…, Time warping, Imagine your call success rate depends on the time of day. During the day time, you can expect 80% of calls to be successful, but after office hours, that success rate drops to 60%, and at night time, you only have 40% successful calls. With the traffic shown in the first graph, you could get the following measured success rate in blue below. As shown above, the success rate can wildly oscillate…, Conclusions, For non-seasonal data, you can use a moving average approach to convert your metric into something more insightful. Picking a window size that is big enough, you can guarantee that the data you look at is relevant since it inherently will incorporate the number of calls. The resulting metric can be used as input by anomaly detection algorithms requiring stable input. When you want to take…, Want to find out more about chatbot technology and how it can help your business? Take a look at the Chatlayer product page here .
